Accurate segmentation is an important preprocessing step for measuring the internal deformation of the tongue during speech and swallowing using 3D dynamic MRI. In an MRI stack, manual segmentation of every 2D slice and time frame is time-consuming due to the large number of volumes captured over the entire task cycle. In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic segmentation workflow for processing 3D dynamic MRI of the tongue. The steps comprise seeding a few slices, seed propagation by deformable registration, random walker segmentation of the temporal stack of images and 3D super-resolution volumes. This method was validated on the tongue of two subjects carrying out the same speech task with multi-slice 2D dynamic cine-MR images obtained at three orthogonal orientations and 26 time frames. The resulting semi-automatic segmentations of 52 volumes showed an average dice similarity coefficient (DSC) score of 0.9 with reduced segmented volume variability compared to manual segmentations. |
